Chapter 187 Alliance

Facing Yun Taihao's cold and sharp gaze, Gao Xian's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were calm and natural.

After experiencing so many things and so many life-and-death tests, Gao Xian has become more shrewd and can suppress his uneasy emotions very well.

Gao Xian was silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I met Brother Yun Zhenren by chance in Mingjiang. He was grateful for not abandoning me and gave me a Qingyun Order and invited me to participate in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly."

Gao Xian did not say what he thought, he simply stated the facts.

The Qingyun Order was given by Yun Qiushui, not by him. If the other party took the initiative to invite him, he would definitely feel embarrassed to refuse.

Gao Xian believed that Yun Taihao understood the hidden meaning in this.

He didn't say it directly because he didn't want to make his words too harsh.

The person opposite is a Jindan Zhenren, who is scheming and decisive in killing. You must be polite to this person.

Yun Taihao ignored Gao Xian's words and asked directly, "Qingyun Dharma Assembly, are you going or not?"

Gao Xian was silent again. Yun Taihao’s question was so direct that he didn’t give him any room to maneuver.

It's easy to say no, but the consequences of deceiving Yun Taihao are quite serious.

If he did, he would definitely offend the sect leader greatly.

Logically speaking, he is the outer sect deacon of Lianyun Sect, and his name is on the Lianyun Sect list.

What does it mean to go to the Qingyun Dharma Assembly? That's not a traitor who betrays the sect.

Gao Xian never thought that one day Yun Taihao would ask him such sharp questions in person.

This sect leader's actions were really like a sharp sword. Every strike went straight to the vital point, making it extremely difficult for him to move forward or backward.

Wan Yingying, who was hiding behind Gao Xian, felt that something was wrong. She grabbed Gao Xian's sleeve nervously, and poked out half of her face to secretly look at Yun Taihao.

She just made eye contact with the other person for a moment, then quickly retracted her head, her heart pounding with fear.

Wan Yingying didn't know Yun Taihao, but she could sense Yun Taihao's terror with her natural sensitivity. She grabbed Gao Xian's sleeve more and more tightly.

Wan Yingying's little movements and emotional changes actually helped Gao Xian break free from the emotional state of confrontation. He gently patted Wan Yingying on the shoulder, signaling her not to be afraid.

This small action also helped Gao Xian adjust his mood and state and organize his thoughts.

Yun Taihao came to visit suddenly because he didn't want to give him time to think. The other party was a Jindan Zhenren, but he used this strategy, which was definitely not to kill him.

Maybe they wanted to force him to back down, so that even if Yun Qingxuan came, he would have nothing to say.

Don't be scared by this old guy! Gao Xian's mind raced and he had an idea. He said to Yun Taihao in a serious tone, "I want to participate in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly."

Yun Taihao sneered: "Has my Lianyun Sect ever done anything wrong to you?"

These are very serious words, and are basically an accusation.

If it were Gao Xian a year ago, he would have backed down. Going head-on with his immediate superior was not in line with his workplace survival strategy.

Now, Gao Xian is quite resentful!

This old guy used him as bait. If he didn't have some skills, he would have turned to ashes by now. He still had the nerve to ask this question!

Gao Xian certainly would not confront Yun Taihao head-on, he said politely: "The sect treats me very well, this is not the same as me participating in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly.

"Daoyou Yun Qiushui thinks highly of me, so I can't refuse his invitation. The Qingyun Dharma Assembly gathers masters from all over the world, and I also want to go and see them."

Yun Taihao did not comment. He of course knew that Gao Xian became a true disciple of Qingyun Sect through the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, which was more promising than staying in Lianyun Sect.

To his surprise, Gao Xian was so determined and did not back down even when faced with his questioning.

If Yun Qingxuan hadn't been involved, he would have been able to use some means to control Gao Xian.

Of course, if he hadn’t met Yun Qingxuan, he wouldn’t have known that Gao Xian had the Qingyun Order.

"Things that can't be tamed!"

Yun Taihao hated Gao Xian's behavior, but he would not let his emotions sway him to do stupid things.

Killing Gao Xian would not only offend Yun Qingxuan, but would also result in the loss of two foundation-building cultivators and an alchemy master.

Yun Taihao hesitated for a moment and said, "You can go to the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. If you can win the first prize in the Dharma Assembly, I can find someone to help you become a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect."

Gao Xian looked at Yun Taihao calmly. This guy is not a good person. He said such nice things, so there must be conditions behind them.

Sure enough, Yun Taihao said again: "But, I have a condition."

"Please give me your instructions, Sect Master." Gao Xian complained in his heart, but looked respectful and polite on the surface.

"Next September, the four sects will form an alliance and hold a discussion to determine the ranking. As long as you get first place, you can participate in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. I will also give you a precious five-element spiritual object and a treasure."

Yun Taihao said calmly: "If you can't get first place in the Four Sects' Dharma Discussion, there is no point in participating in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. Just stay in Lianyun Sect with peace of mind."

Gao Xian bowed and said, "As you wish."

Yun Taihao laughed, "Okay, that's quite heroic."

Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Yun Taihao flicked his sleeves and turned into a green light that flew into the air.

The sudden change also alarmed the entire Zhu family. A group of people looked at the blue rainbow in the sky in horror, and each of them was a little panicked.

"Farewell, Master."

Gao Xian saluted towards the blue rainbow that was hovering in the sky, with a very formal attitude, not caring whether Yun Taihao could see it or not.

When the green rainbow disappeared, Gao Xian said to everyone in the yard, "Just do your work. It's okay."

With Gao Xian's words, everyone calmed down. Gao Xian was also a great cultivator in the foundation building stage. If he said it was okay, then it was okay.

Wan Yingying was not too reassured. She pulled Gao Xian's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, that man is so fierce!"

"That's Master Yun Taihao, the leader of Lianyun Sect. Please don't be disrespectful."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Gao Xian reminded him that although children's words do not matter, Yun Taihao did not look like a broad-minded person, so it would be better to be careful.

Wan Yingying patted her chest with a look of fear on her face, "So he is a Jindan Zhenren, no wonder he is so scary!"

"How can you see him?"

Gao Xian was a little curious. Yun Taihao used his spiritual sense to block the senses of people around him in the yard, making it almost impossible for Qigong practitioners to detect Yun Taihao's presence.

"He's standing there, why can't I see it?!"

Wan Yingying was actually very surprised. She looked at Gao Xian with her big eyes, not understanding what Gao Xian meant by asking this.

"Well……"

Gao Xian didn't explain, which made things a little complicated for Wan Yingying.

He knew that Wan Yingying's soul was born special. Su Yue and Yang Qiying called it the Seven Evil Souls. They also wanted to use her soul to refine the Yin Evil Flag.

Judging from today's situation, Wan Yingying's soul is born with a keen spiritual perception and is not the so-called Seven Evil Souls.

The way of the spirit and soul is complex and mysterious, and even Yuanying Zhenjun may not be able to explain it clearly.

Gao Xian knew nothing about this, and couldn't make a rash judgment. He could only say that Wan Yingying should have great potential for cultivation.

It's just that she is too young. He can't see where Wan Yingying's talent lies, so he doesn't dare to teach her the cultivation techniques casually.

After all, the Qi training stage is very important, and choosing a formula is equivalent to choosing the future path. If you choose the wrong one, there is no way to change it.

The reason why independent cultivators fail is that there are too few choices. Most of them go astray at the beginning.

Gao Xian decided to wait until he arrived in Qingyun City and then find some powerful people to show Wan Yingying.

The blue rainbow that flew away into the sky also alarmed Zhu Qinnan who was working in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Zhu Qinnan hurried back and was relieved to find that Gao Xian was fine.

Gao Xian repeated what Yun Taihao said. Zhu Qiniang looked confused. "The four sects are forming an alliance?"

"Perhaps they realized the situation was not good, so several sects banded together for warmth." Gao Xian guessed casually.

"Yun Taihao attaches so much importance to this alliance, it must be very important."

Zhu Qiniang's expression was somewhat solemn. "Next September, time is running out!"

In such a short time, it is unlikely that Gao Xian can advance to the second level of foundation building.

The foundation-building cultivators who participated in the alliance conference could not be limited to those in the early stage of foundation-building. This was too disadvantageous for Gao Xian.

Gao Xian didn't care, "Yun Taihao is right. I can't even get first place in the four sects' competition. It's useless to go to the Qingyun Dharma Assembly."

Zhu Qiniang glanced at Gao Xian and said, "Why are you so stupid? The four sects will gather together and all the masters will come out. The Qingyun Dharma Assembly is to gather the independent cultivators from all sides to compete. No matter how powerful the independent cultivators are, they are still one level lower than the foundation-building cultivators from the sects..."

"Well……"

Gao Xian also suddenly understood, and he muttered: "The old man is cunning, the old horse is slippery, it's true that I am not deceived!"

He explained to Qi Niang again: "He is more than 400 years old, and I am only 30 years old. It is not normal or reasonable for me to be deceived by him..."

Zhu Qiniang said angrily: "You use all your cleverness on women!"
